A powerful sporting identity built on ambition, pride, leadership, and the fearless legacy of the Marathas.
Dhiraj Manjeri is a visionary entrepreneur known for his successful journey in the real estate industry through the Emperia Group brand. After building a strong reputation in premium residential, commercial, and luxury developments across Navi Mumbai and beyond, he expanded his vision into the world of professional sports.
Driven by passion, ambition, and the spirit of creating something larger than business, Dhiraj Manjeri entered the sports industry by acquiring a professional volleyball franchise named Emperia Marathas. This marks a powerful new chapter — transforming years of leadership, discipline, and growth from real estate into a platform that inspires athletes, communities, and future champions.
Emperia Marathas is more than a volleyball team. It represents pride, strength, determination, and the fearless legacy of the Marathas. Built on the values of teamwork, excellence, and perseverance, the franchise aims to elevate Indian volleyball while creating opportunities for emerging talent to perform on a larger stage.
Just as Emperia has developed landmarks in real estate, the vision behind Emperia Marathas is to build a lasting sporting legacy that inspires generations. Every match, every player, and every achievement reflects a commitment to excellence, community development, and the pursuit of greatness.
Today, Emperia Marathas stands as a symbol of modern ambition rooted in heritage — bringing together sports, leadership, and legacy under one powerful identity.
What began as a journey of building homes, commercial spaces, and premium developments has now evolved into building dreams on the volleyball court.
Under the leadership of Dhiraj Manjeri, Emperia established itself in the real estate sector with a vision focused on growth, innovation, and long-term value creation.
With years of success in developing premium projects and creating thriving communities, a new vision emerged — to contribute to Indian sports and empower young talent.
That vision gave birth to Emperia Marathas, a professional volleyball franchise built to promote sporting excellence, inspire youth, and create a culture of performance and pride.
